We take a “European” approach to alcohol in my house, so on the rare occasions that we have beer or wine with dinner, we give a tiny amount to our children – and apparently unlike everyone else here, they liked it from the first sip. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a light lager, oatmeal stout, dry Cabernet, etc., if they see I and my wife are drinking it, they will ask for some, too. I even tried letting them taste the harder stuff, thinking it would turn them off. Nope, they liked rum, whiskey, etc., too, right off. The only thing I’ve seen them dislike is gin. I guess we have a strange family.
Edited to add: the harder stuff is a one-time only experience for my kids to taste.
